Bros you did well with the Tax and cost of living but fumbled when you said 16$ is not a lot of money. 16CAD is 12USD and that is higher than the minimum wage in almost all countries of the world including USA and Canada. Australia is the only COUNTRY with more than 12USD (16CAD) as minimum wage in the entire world.

Hey guys, i know i was supposed to post a new balance this week, but holidays no be small thing o. You have to get gifts for family, friends and so on. So i have to take a break from saving for the next 2 weeks. However, my wife decided to give me 2 of her paychecks to make it up in January, so we are still on track. I decided not to travel to the US again, but instead to spend my holidays in Canada. Return ticket to New york is like $700 and we are 2. Other interesting cities in US was just about the same price. It will cost over $2500 just to spend the holiday in US. Myself and wifey decided to plan a holiday for early next year. Infact i got a return ticket to Singapore for $700, same price for tickets to Seoul. Its crazy how fares are so expensive this period, well its expected.
I will be doing a road trip to Calgary this holiday and i will document with some pictures and put them on here. By the way, Happy holidays to everyone.

please I don't want to sound like a rude person but I felt obliged to ask this. You wrote somewhere that your wife isn't working now where did she get the paycheck from

You're right, he said his wife doesn't work for now. Atutupoyoyo I think you made a mistake here maybe you don't want to disclose who gave you his/her paycheck here, all this is even personal information and your choice to disclose or not

opebiboy:
The way people call money amazes me. Do you know what it takes to save $30,000 as a Canadian. Pls stop with the joke. Working people are not rich in Canada. It is a struggle just like in yankee

Godisincontrol:


English is a problem. I have attached the screenshot so you would see where he wrote she would start a part time job.

Get a life and stop looking for how to bring the guy down

I think someone has posted what i actually said, but for clarification, my wife would be starting a part time job at my place of work in January.

atutupoyoyo2211:
A 27 year is still young, cos i am older than that but i have stated a master's degree. I was once shortlisted for a job that pays $90 an hour, but i didnt get it because i had no masters degree and the recruitment team let me know. That was why i immediately enrolled for a masters degree. Having a kid is no problem at all because the government will even help you out until you get a job. Its an organized society here. This is the way Canada society works, or i think so. If you possess a lot of degrees from outside the country, thay may not matter until you get even one degree from Canada. It can be a diploma, BSc PGD or masters degree, but just get something from here and you are good to go

opebiboy:
enough with the scam! MOD please close this thread! Save $56,000 in three years my azz!

Cosplay:
Sure about that? Let's have the VIN please. Thank you.

opebiboy:
You will be given the VIN to check the history of the vehicle before purchase. Are you based in Lagos?

Cosplay:
I'm neither a serious nor a potential buyer, just a concerned observer. If you could post the VIN here though, that would be great. Was the vehicle damaged and then repaired?

opebiboy:
Oh i see. I will send it to you

Cosplay:
You still haven't provided the VIN, or responded to the question about damage and repairs.

ejembi28:
OP pls just quickly do the right thing, because from all indications COSPLAY is about to throw bomb... with all the interrogations coming from him(cosplay)

Cosplay:
Was this vehicle damaged and then repaired?

opebiboy:
come to the car stand and check out the car yourself. I will provide every information you want. I came here for serious minded customers.

HeavenlyBang:
Oga, that doesn't fly in this section. Provide VIN.

Cosplay:
That's the same vehicle displayed in this advert. Want to prove it's not? It's simple. VIN.

Perhaps you're right, and it's not the vehicle you've advertised. Except it is. Put up, or shut up.

opebiboy:
and this is your job here? You are indeed jobless. The full details of my car will be given to serious buyers not clowns like you high off some cheap drugs

Cosplay:
Any seller who refuses to provide the VIN even when asked specifically is dishonest. There's simply no other logical or rational explanation.

naijaman3:


Again, stop going about saying what you know nothing about simply because you have failed at attaining such feat. Rather than arguing with emotion I am asking you again to come up with facts to dispute that it is possible to save $56,000 in three years in Canada even on minimum wage. Here is the link to my analysis again:

https://www.nairaland.com/4857306/monthly-savings-canada/10#73854976

Until you come up with real facts like in my analysis, I will see you as a failure who thinks nobody can succeed because they have failed.

Finally, you calling the thread or the hardworking Op a scammer without any proof is very disrespectful. If anything, going by your refusal to provide the VIN for a vehicle that you wanted to sell here on Nairaland, I see you as the real scammer that should actually be banned from Nairaland altogether.

You @opebiboy was caught trying to sell a damaged/accidented as clean vehicle. Hence you refused to provide the vehicle VIN in the advert as required of you. So, who is the scammer and dishonest person now?

Picture of the vehicle before it was repaired and how one of the commenters found out that the vehicle @opebiboy was trying to sell as clean / accident free vehicle is available on the thread with link below.

Here is the link to your post about the vehicle and a couple of quotes from the post.

Some quotes from the thread:

opebiboy:
Provide VIN to micreants and unserious buyers? I gave them a simple offer- get someone in Lagos to come check on the car, the VIN is written on it, they all fled. You are the OP with a proxy account trying to save this fraudulent thread.

adajiboyy:
thank you for replying bro. but would let's say 2 million which is $6000 be enough to take me to Canada? I just wanna leave this country or just go to the national open university. please advice me bro

naijaman3:


See yourself again giving lame excuses.

1. How can I be the Op with proxy account when I have been on Nairaland since September 14, 2006 (that was 12 years ago)? Check out my previous posts on Nairaland since 2006. https://www.nairaland.com/naijaman3/posts

2. When you could have simply provide the VIN online, you want people to waste their precious time to come see the car before they get the VIN after which they would discover that the car is damaged. What stops you from posting the VIN if you have nothing to hide? VIN is not a secret thing to get as it can be easily gotten from the dash of any vehicle. So, why are you hiding yours if not to be dishonest and scam people.

3. All my claims have been backed up with verifiable facts but you keep making claims without providing evidence to back them up. Why are you this daft?

You honestly needs to be banned from Nairaland altogether because you are a confirmed scammer and a dishonest person. I hope the moderator of this thread will do the needful.

Poverty of the mind is a terrible thing. I can only feel sorry for you.

overseasnbeyond:
Nice job, God will punished all naija politicians and people in authority. I started my job in the state of south carolina getting paid $14.20 per hour and i have to work 13hrs everyday including overtime. My basic for two weeks is 85hrs anything after is. Overtime.
I lovw the job i do as a correction officer in the detention centre.
I make average of $2650 after tax every two weeks but do not want to kill myself any longer because they see me as workaholic.
The job is cool and steady

yemiosinbajo:


Mann, that's a lot of hours. Do you work weekends too? What type of job is this? This is one problem with Yankee life: you need to work really hard to make ends meet. Initially when you move from a country like Nigeria having experienced severe poverty, it seems cool that you have the opportunity to work multiple hours without rest. You seem to enjoy it and try to save as much as you can. However, after spending some years here, you begin to feel it's too much labor, and your interests begin to dissipate. You cannot stop otherwise you rake in too much bills and debts. Welcome to the American life!
